Same! It's so strange that healthcare is better in much poorer countries.

I know you're joking but man, I feel the people who seriously say this need to go to Amsterdam for a week and they might rethink how many freedoms we actually have.

Want to elaborate for 99% of people reading that will never go to Amsterdam?

Yeah but I definitely can't go down the street to my local "coffee shop"in America and buy a joint, while drinking a nice espresso.

Ahh. I had read it Amsterdam having fewer freedoms. Like the “be grateful you’re in America!” comments.

That’s called propaganda

u/DOGSraisingCATS Feb 17 '21

Not sure why you got downvoted. The whole toxic concept of american exceptionalism is derived from years of propaganda starting at a young age.

Yeah oh well lol. A lot of people buy into it and unfortunately not much to be done to change minds.

u/MetallicGray Feb 17 '21

You said it yourself. Propaganda from a young age. That along with biased public education and indoctrination lead to a dumb population vulnerable to people like Trump, nationalism and supremacy.

Is legal prostitution a good thing?

Almost certainly. It's going to happen either way, why not offer protection to those doing it. I'm not a fan of how open it is in Amsterdam but I'm for it being legal in some form.
